We had about 85 skaters this year! The day was beautiful and we skated the parade down with pride! If you missed the chance, let me just say you missed out big!
Many many thanks to our parade sponsors for making this even possible!
We would specially like to thank Billy’s Mom, Kim, for her undying support of this park and all the energy she brings into it!
Also many thanks to the parents that helped keep the kids under control on the parade… we had an unruly crowd and you handled them all with grace and calm… we are really thankful for all your work and hope you guys had as much fun as we did!
that was just the beginning of a big season… stay tuned for more fun this year!

SKATEREVOLUTION.COM ONLINE SKATEBOARD VIDEO CHALLENGE
$10,000 IN CASH AND PRIZES!
SkaterEvolution.com presents Proving Grounds, our online annual video skateboarding contest to find the best skaters in the country. This competition is open to all skateboarders, pro, amateur, sponsored or
not. Skaters compete against each other in their own age class and style of skating. They will create a 2 minute video of themselves performing their best tricks and upload that video to our contest. We will pick the best 100 skaters in each age class and each skate category. Then the skaters will pick the winners by voting on their choice of best skaters. Skaters will com- pete for their share of a $10,000 cash and prize purse.
FOR THE SKATEPARKS AND SKATESHOPS: Display our flyers about the contest at your park or shop. Have the skaters choose your name in the referral area when uploading their
contest video(s). If they win in any of the age classes or categories, your park or shop will receive a $100 donation from Skater Evolution and a featured write up on our website. In addition, just for allowing our flyers at your location, we will place you in our directory for local skateparks or skate- shops.
Keep in mind, the more skaters you have submit videos, the better your chances on winning.
We kick off our contest on April 4, 2011 then you can begin uploading your videos. You have until April 27, 2011 at which time we will begin
choosing the top 100 viideos for each age class and each skate category. You have your choice of either street or vert skate category, make your choice and make your video. Voting will begin on May 04, 2011 and end on May 13, 2011 with the winners being announced on May 14, 2011.

Thank you for signing up to be part of this year’s parade with us! If you haven’t signed up yet, do it RIGHT NOW right here
We are very excited to be part of this HUGE opportunity to show everyone how big our community really is and we need you all to put a good show on the 2nd biggest St. Patrick’s day parade in the whole USA… think about it! close to 1 million people will be watching you!
If you have a chance, stop by Woody’s and get your t-shirt! They are $10 and your purchase will help us pay for the parade fees… buy a t-shirt and skate for free!!
If you aren’t able to stop by, don’t worry about it… just make sure to wear something green and we will be OK.
The Skinny:
We will be meeting at the corner of Lincoln and Henry Streets.
Here is a map of the location (from last year but the spot is the same)
WHEN?
This year’s Parade will take place on Thursday, March 17th.
Check-in time is between 11 and 12 noon.
The parade starts at 10 AM but our float won’t be moving until later in the afternoon (likely 1pm)… you may start there with us or join us along the parade route.
Notes:
Lastly, consider the fact that this is our chance to show the city that we are not a bunch of criminals… SO, be on your best behavior, put on a good attitude and skate on. It should be fun again!
Email me at skate@woodys.skatethatshit.com with any questions… if you are a parent and would like to join us too, you are welcome to bike along… and let me know if you have any questions.
Heads up boys and girls! Savannah has a new skateshop!
It is long in the make but Plainview Skate Shop will be opening its doors to the public this coming Saturday March 12! You better put it on your calendar and show up for the grand opening…. I sure as hell will be there.
Cruz, the owner, is a friend and fellow skateboarder… BUT, more importantly, he is one more person to put his finances on the line and invest on the Savannah skate scene… Make sure to give him the respect and drop in for a purchase or two… if you skate, you owe him that!
His address is:
15 east Bay street
Savannah, GA 31401
map that s*it
Good going Cruz and welcome to the family! Now just buckle up and enjoy the ride!
Best wishes from me and the woody’s crew!
After much consideration, we’ve decided to drop our prices! $5 bucks! cheapest babysitting in town… now go skate!
